* NoRespectGuy: Thanks to her TheAce skills, her team won many games and two important championships. But every time a new story arc starts, all the characters start underestimating her and doubting her abilities, so You has to gain everyone else's respect once again. In the final story arc, there are the coaches discussing if she's good enough for the national team and eventually she's selected ''only'' at the last minute, which is funny because all the other players already selected (a long time before her) have been defeated by You multiple times in previous games.

** In early Hikawa episodes, he's violent and brutal, but also an AntiVillain with a sympathetic side, to the point that his players are sad when he goes away.
** Later on, after You refuses to join his team, he becomes more outright malicious towards her, trying to destroy her dream to be part of the national team. He's still abusive to Nami, but also shows some care for her, working hard to make her join the national team, which is also partially the reason why he wants You out.
** As a coach of the national team, he's an openly corrupt villain, forming a BigBadEnsemble with his new favorite player, the equally cruel Hikaru Kaido, and he's also determined to ruin both You ''and'' Nami's roles in the national team.
** And despite all of this, in the very last episode, he's seen crying when Nami has an accident that leaves her paralyzed.
